Instructional Television Fixed Service (ITFS), 1978-1985

Subseries contains material relating to the threatened relocation of ITFS channels from 1978 to 1985. The Instructional Television Fixed Service was established in 1963 to reserve several broadcast channels to allow for the transmission of education or instructional video programming to various specially equipped locations. Of special concern for Fratkin were several cases before the FCC, including 80-112, 80-113, 80-116, and 80-523, all involving reallocation of ITFS stations. The series is divided between correspondence and general material relating to ITFS, and material relating directly to FCC cases. Included are correspondence, memoranda, case briefs, newsletters, clippings, and notes.
